Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004051822A1] The invention relates to a method for operating an electronic module (10) which is supplied with electrical energy by an operating voltage source (UBat) and comprises a circuit unit (4) for carrying out at least one system function. According to said method, in the event of an operating voltage interruption, the operating voltage is supplied by a system-autonomous capacitor (Cs), and the system function can be activated by means of the energy reserve supplied by a function-autonomous capacitor (Cz). In addition, the system-autonomous capacitor is charged by a voltage converter (1) connected to the operating voltage source. Furthermore, the function-autonomous capacitor is connected to the voltage converter by means of a charging connection (5). Said charging connection can be controlled in order to fulfil various functions in different operating states, that is both in a switching mode for clocking the charging current charging the function-autonomous capacitor, and in a current source mode wherein the charging connection operates as a controlled resistance, both for producing a constant discharging current for checking the system-autonomous capacitor and for producing a re-loading current for re-loading the function-autonomous capacitor.
